Economic Surveys of Specific US Commercial Fisheries

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) is requesting an extension of this standard collection of information. The requested information will include different components of operating costs/expenditures, earnings, employment, ownership, vessel characteristics, effort/gear descriptors, and demographic information for the various types of fishing vessels operating in the 16 U.S. commercial fisheries or groups of fisheries listed below. 1. West Coast Limited Entry Groundfish Fixed Gear Fishery 2. West Coast Open Access Groundfish, Non-tribal Salmon, Crab, and Shrimp Fisheries 3. American Samoa Pelagic Longline Fishery 4. Hawaii Pelagic Longline Fishery 5. Hawaii Small Boat Fishery 6. American Samoa Small Boat Fishery 7. American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Small Boat-Based Fisheries 8. Mariana Archipelago Small Boat Fisheries 9. USVI Small-Scale Fisheries 10. Puerto Rico Small-Scale Commercial Fisheries 11. Gulf of America Inshore Shrimp Fishery 12. Golden Crab Fisheries in the U.S. South Atlantic Region 13. West Coast Coastal Pelagic Finfish and Market Squid Fishery 14. West Coast Swordfish Fishery 15. West Coast North Pacific Albacore Fishery 16. Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fisheries To make it easier for the public and other reviewers to focus on the responses for a specific fishery or set of fisheries and the associated information collection, we provide a separate set of 18 responses for each information collection. However, for responses that apply to the bundled information collection request as a whole, we present the full response for only the first information collection, indicate the response applies to all 16 collections and then only reference that response in the corresponding response for the other 15 collections, unless the response is very brief. The responses for the 16 information collections are very similar to those in the Supporting Statement Part A, which OMB reviewed and approved 04/27/2022. However, NMFS updated the name of one collection to be consistent with Executive Order 14172, revised the sex/gender and race/ethnicity questions to be consistent with current OMB guidance, updated the data used to estimate the hourly wage rates, which are used in calculating annual wage burden costs, and updated the government cost estimates. In addition, due to uncertainty concerning the timing of funding to support each collection and exogenous shocks (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), which affect the feasibility and/or desirability of collecting data for a specific year, the schedule for each of the 16 information collections needs to be flexible. Therefore, NMFS no longer provides the exact year for each collection and the resulting reports it will support.

Socioeconomic Monitoring Study of National Park Service Visitors

Key Information

Abstract

The National Park Service (NPS) Social Science Program is authorized by the National Park Service Protection, Interpretation, and Research in System (54 U.S.C. 100701) to collect information that will improve the ability of the NPS to provide effective management, protection, and interpretation across the Service. However, data is needed to generalize findings across all national park units in the System with regards to visitor experiences, attitudes, and spending behaviors. Current data does not allow for comparison across units or against a regional and nationwide benchmark of information. The proposed collection will provide generalizable results for NPS managers and planners across the System to understand and monitor visitor demographics, economic contribution, services, facilities, and infrastructure investments. Park units will be able to compare their unit data with regional and national-level data to make informed decisions in future planning and management efforts. In support of these goals, and in alignment with the Explore Act (Public Law 118–234), this effort will also advance national objectives to expand and improve outdoor recreation opportunities through enhanced data on use, access, and public engagement.

Recreation Mapping for the Salmon River Basin, Idaho

Key Information

Abstract

The USGS Minerals Research Program is interested in understanding how mining and reprocessing of legacy mine waste has the potential to impact people and values in the Salmon River Basin of central Idaho. Metals present in the Salmon River Mountains have been identified as critical to the energy transition. The Basin is also a hotspot for recreational activities, notably subsistence hunting and fishing, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and Wilderness. Managing these resources thus requires finding an acceptable balance and while much is known about mineral locations and extraction techniques, no quantitative information is available about how the public uses the Basin, where they use it, or the benefits they derive from it. We intend to collect spatial and non-spatial information on users, uses, and associated values.

SmartWay Transport Partnership (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is entitled Information Collection Activities Associated with SmartWay Transport Partnership, EPA ICR number 2265.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0663. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the SmartWay Transport Partnership (SmartWay) to help businesses and individuals protect the environment, improve air quality, and maximize the energy efficiency of their transportation and logistics management choices. SmartWay is a voluntary program that focuses on increasing efficiency and lowering emissions generated by goods movement. EPA encourages businesses that transport and move goods to adopt energy-efficient strategies and technologies that reduce fuel use, air pollution, and energy costs. EPA administers a streamlined reporting process for organizations that join SmartWay and has created incentives for improvement such as the SmartWay Excellence Awards Program. EPA also makes reporting tools and other resources available on the Internet to help SmartWay partners evaluate and track their environmental performance and the value of investing in transportation management year-over-year improvements. This ICR examines the information collected under SmartWay from organizations active in the transportation sector. Sections 1 through 5 of this supporting statement describe the collections (in terms of the need and utility of the data collected). These sections also outline respondent and Agency activities. In Section 6, EPA estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency as a result of the data collections.

NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program National Evaluation System

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension of an existing information collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Education is sponsoring data collection efforts on its Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program. B-WET advances NOAA’s mission by awarding education grants that foster an environmentally literate citizenry who have the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to protect watersheds and related ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems. B-WET currently funds projects in seven regions (California, Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, Gulf of America, Hawaii, New England, and the Pacific Northwest). To ensure high-quality educational activities funded by B-WET, we created a cross-region, internal evaluation system that collects information from B-WET awardees and their teacher participants to provide ongoing monitoring of program implementation and to identify opportunities for improved program outcomes. B-WET awardees and teacher participants complete online survey forms to provide data for the evaluation system. Awardees are surveyed once per year of the project and teachers are surveyed twice, once after completing professional development programs and once after teaching their students about watersheds. Information collected from awardees includes program elements such as program duration, format, audience, location, support and/or materials offered, and topics covered. Information collected from teacher professional development participants includes teaching methodologies, program satisfaction, program coverage, suggestions for improvement, and teaching confidence. This data collection effort benefits those who receive B-WET grants and project participants of those grants by providing regular program improvements that they can leverage to implement successful projects. The B-WET evaluation system is designed to collect data on a continuous basis (annually for grantees and as described above for teachers). However, data collection is currently paused due to the fact that the national evaluation instruments are not designed to assess project implementation during the ongoing impacts of the pandemic.

Evaluation of SE Catch Shares Programs

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a new collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) proposes to conduct a data collection intended to assist in the mandatory evaluation of the red snapper and grouper-tilefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQs) programs in the Southeast Region of the United States. Congress requires this evaluation every 5 to 7 years, as stipulated in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and its subsequent reauthorizations. The survey will gather information on demographics, knowledge and transparency about IFQ transactions, barriers obtaining and selling IFQ share and allocation, social networks' role in the fishery, multi-activity engagement within the IFQ program value chain, and factors influencing discarding practices. The collected data will support mandatory periodic evaluations of these catch share programs, inform fishery management plan amendments, and enhance socio-economic analyses of regulatory proposals. This research aims to strengthen fishery management decision-making and fulfill legal mandates under various statutes, including the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and Executive Order 12866.

Expanding Industry-Collaborative Research Surveys in Untrawlable Habitats along the Pacific Coast

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to initiate a new collection of information from members of the recreational and commercial fishing communities along the U.S. Pacific Coast to support expansion of fishery-independent groundfish research surveys conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). This collection will generate information essential for the expansion of existing industry-collaborative research surveys, eliminate spatial gaps in survey coverage, and provide information for the monitoring, assessment, and management of ecologically and economically important groundfish stocks. Due to the paucity of data for many species and the resulting uncertainty surrounding the health of these stocks, large areas of the coast have been closed to most fishing as a precautionary measure, which has been economically damaging to the recreational and commercial fishing communities. Partnering with these communities will close data gaps, reduce scientific uncertainty, and enable more effective management of U.S. Pacific Coast groundfish stocks. NMFS will generate a spreadsheet template that will be distributed on a voluntary basis to members of the recreational and commercial fishing communities along the U.S. Pacific Coast to solicit information about potential sampling locations to include in an expansion of existing research surveys. Specifically, NMFS requests data including GPS coordinates depth, seafloor type, target species, and recommended gear types for consideration as potential new sampling locations. Respondents will include existing contacts and research partners within the industry as well as individuals recommended by industry leaders and liaisons along the coast to ensure broad spatial coverage. NMFS plans to place no restrictions on broader distributions by primary respondents to other knowledgeable members of the fishing community (i.e., secondary respondents) on a voluntary basis.

Federal Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Declaration Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Declaration Form, FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-112 (formerly 516-0-1), is used to collect basic information on life-safety systems related directly to fire-safety in hotels, motels, and similar places of accommodation applying for inclusion on the NML. In completing the form, applicants—property owners, lodging managers, or their delegates—provide basic information including identification of the owner(s) of the property, the business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), and provisions for life-safety from fire. The form requests specific responses from applicants as to the installation of smoke alarms in all guestrooms of properties submitted for listing on the NML. In addition, applicants must indicate if the lodging establishment has an automatic fire sprinkler system where the building is four stories or higher. Once approved for the NML, the database record for each lodging establishment is assigned a unique identification number (FEMA ID). The information is collected and distributed through an on-line, electronic database accessed through the USFA website. Information submitted voluntarily by lodging establishments is reviewed and if the criteria meet the requirements of Public Law 101-391, they are given a FEMA ID number and listed in the NML database. Federal travelers and the public seeking public accommodation with provisions for life-safety from fire access the NML through the on-line database and identify lodging establishments in the area to which they are traveling.
